  • Title: Successful treatment of cepacia syndrome with combination nebulised and intravenous antibiotic therapy.
    Author: Weidmann A, Webb AK, Dodd ME, Jones AM.
    Journal: J Cyst Fibros; 2008 Sep; 7(5):409-11. PubMed ID: 18356119.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of successful treatment of a 31-year-old lady with cystic fibrosis and an en-bloc liver-pancreas transplant, who developed cepacia syndrome on a background of chronic infection with the ET12 epidemic strain of Burkholderia cenocepacia. Combination therapy with nebulised and intravenous meropenem and tobramycin led to clinical improvement with a return to baseline function and complete resolution of the acute chest X-ray changes.
